Food and fun






this is the first meal I had in Obera the night befor we went to the farm. underneath the egg is cheese then ham then a battered and fried piece of beef. MMmmmm very good it was even better sence we had been eating airline and bus food for the past 2 and a half days.



Food at the farm on the other hand is very very different. everthing is bought locally or grown on the property primarily vegitarian. Everything is So muy muy delisioso we have some great cooks in our group and the food taste soo good and fresh. I sort of though that we would be a little hungry every so often because it all vegi´s and what not, but we are getting fed very well. there is no chance of mal nutrition. we have learned to make our own chese from Peloma´s milk , as well as yogart and dolce de leche which is kinda like caramel sauce but made from boiling milk untill it carmelizes. we also eat plenty of eggs from the chicken. On a side note Ashley has not yet warmed up to the Rooster which keeps trying to attack her hehehe!


Here is Mario whom is the bain of Ashley´s existance at this point. yesterday we recieved 12 more hen´s and 3 more roosters so hopefully these ones will be a little nicer to her.


this is a shot of Ashley & Gustavo (from Paraguay) being taught By kim how to make cheese.!

Hopefully this saturday, which is personal project day, Im going to teach the clan how to make Beer.. This should be interesting sence I´ll have to substatute both ingredients and equipment with what we have avialible here. Stay tunned for the results.

  2. Hi kids, thanks so much (Jake) for going through the trouble of creating this blog. Reading your entries and looking at the pictures makes it so real for us and helps with the occasional "empty nester" sadness. When we see what ya'll are doing and experiencing, it reminds us of how proud we are of you and happy for you (which makes us happy)! As Aunt Wendy said "we always knew you'd do something amazing"!! Love you both, ma & pa

  3. Jake and Ashley!! WE just read up on all your most recent postings! Thanks so much for putting up all the pictures so that we can vicariously experience this adventure with you. All is well here in Asheville, Aaron just brewed a honey pumpkin porter. Just bottled it yesterday- it was an original recipie made by Aaron and our friend Matt. It's really dark and delicious!! It's the darkest and strongest beer we have brewed yet- about 9% ABB.
    We miss you guys so much and are so proud of you both. Please continue with the blog- it's really neat to read about what you are learning. Love you both-
    Alicia, Aaron, Maya, Merrie and Leila!
